Korea Head coach, Kim Ho-chul: "My players are young and miss experience. We just arrived yesterday in France, so with the time difference and the travel, we are tired."

France head coach Philippe Blain: "I think that we could win 3-0 after our first two sets but my player didn’t succeed to finish the game. They were waiting the Koreans but in that case you have to force your nature and take your responsibility."

France Captain, Marien Moreau: "The aim is to win two matches so we are satisfied tonight with this first victory against Korea. I really hope that we will add a second one in Toulouse."

Korea Captain, Kwon Young-min: "Tonight it was very warm in the hall. I’m upset because we don’t show our best. France was better and we didn’t play very well."
